Summary

There's trouble in paradise...or is it murder? The third explosive Matt Standing thriller from the bestselling author of the Spider Shepherd series.

The SAS are used to deaths during combat—it goes with the turf.

But when one of their own is said to have committed suicide in Thailand, red flags are raised.

Pete Green wasn't the sort of soldier who would ever take his own life—and no one is more sure of that than his twin brother, Davie.

Davie is determined to fly to the Land Of Smiles to find out what really happened to his twin brother. But if he is going to find out the truth he'll need help—the sort of help only SAS Sergeant Matt Standing can provide.

But soon after they arrive they come under attack, leaving Standing to investigate on his own. There are clearly people who want to shut down all enquiries and Standing knows he will have to use all his SAS jungle skills to survive. This will be the toughest of assignments but nothing will come between him and the truth...

Excellent, Excellent, Excellent!

Fantastic story, couldn't stop listening, the story again is brilliant. I unfortunately have started mid Matt Standing series but now looking to fill in the gaps with Matt & Spider Shepherd. Stephen Leather is now one of my 2 favourite Authors. Again the narration is excellent, really draws in your senses.

lex and standing, doing what spider should

Great book, loved the setting. unusually long and slow start, although well written and enjoyable. woth Great cast and location. Paul always reads with a panache that brings this type of book to life. Harper and Standing doing the things you always wished spider would do, but for some reason always goes too soft.... Good ending. but. wpuod of been better with more action through out

Great story! As always well worth a read!

As always outstanding read by Stephen leather. The pace of his story and the characters are fantastic. Real page turner, to get all three of his big hitters in the same book, makes for a very good read.

Excellent storyline. Keeps you listening until the end

Whilst this story is not Spider Shepherd, he does appear in a support capacity. I enjoyed each chapter and the storyline held my interest throughout. Well narrated and overall a great addition to the Paul Thornley library

Another fantastic read

I don’t know how he does it but Stephen Leather is a genius at writing books, I have not come across a book of his that I have not enjoyed.

The Matt Standing Series is gripping, full of adventure, suspense & bringing favourite characters from other series into it is a brilliant touch. The level of detail the Stephen puts into his novels is incredibly accurate, well thought out, so it easily pulls you into the story.

I honestly can’t wait for the next book, and have already preordered Stephens next Spider Shepherd book, so that will be something to look forward to, hopefully there will be a new lex harper soon!!
